Description

Tambimuttu (editor); Burroughs, William; Clarke, John Cooper; Cobbing, Bob; Patten, Brian; Thomas, R. S.; Michaux, Henri; Pickard, Tom; Williamson, Robin (text only) et al.. Poetry London / Apple Magazine No.2: Rare outsized alternative unused signed artist’s proof of the cover & sewn text-block. London: Poetry London, 1982. First Edition. Card Wrappers. Very Good. Front cover with alternative unused lyrebird image by Piper & rear cover color-poem by Patrick Hayman. Although Piper’s signature is a reproduction on the published cover this unused proof would not have been duplicated. Lightly rubbed & creased at unprinted marginal edges of cover. (ii), 94pp. Text-block with untrimmed edges & sewn with each signature lettered A-F; some unopened. Burroughs and Theater of All Possibilities (8pp). Neither the Piper illustrated Bryan Guinness ‘Hands’ pull-out nor the Williamson flexidisc present. Self-evidently unique thus.
